Re: What supplements (or other strategies) do you take?
flashlight - estrogen is not an option for those with ER+ BC . It seems like the thinking is any estrogen is bad. Even at menopause the body needs it, even if in very small amounts. I take an AI to block estrogen,resulting in hair loss/thinning. I think it also contributes to bone loss and stiff joints. If you learn about supplements etc that help with the SE of AIs, without interfering, please post. I do take "New Chapter Bone strength" for the bones, and turmeric and glucosamine for the joints. I think biotin helps with nails, but does not help with hair.
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Cindy - glad to hear the endo visit went well except for the BP. Was the BP taken with a machine or manually? Hopefully just a one-off high reading.
You are a wonderful aunt with all you do for your niece and grandniece.

Re: Stage III Cancer Survivors ...Five + Years and Out.
AliceS this is good to hear, my surgeon says I'm an excellent candidate for re-excision and have been debating. I need ALDS this summer already after chemo. You can see responses to my question over at the TRIPLE POSITIVE thread: https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/80/topics/764183?page=974 I've been going to Dana Farber, so I'm pretty confident and whatever they recommend, it's more about my preference right now.
Re: how about drinking?
Marlegal - sorry you have to return - but welcome!!! We're here to share.
I'm 12 years past my recurrence. And I pretty much have two drinks every night. Gin & Tonic in the summer. Bourbon & water in the winter.

Re: HERCEPTIN and/or PERJETA Threads
@olma61, Great news all around!!
Clear scans are always something to celebrate—congratulations! 🎉 And it's great to hear the dermatologist check came back clear as well.
Good for you for finally addressing the fibroid situation after 8 years of it showing up on scans. It sounds like you're being proactive and hopefully you'll get some answers and relief from the annoyance. Fingers crossed the ultrasound confirms what your doctors suspect.
Thanks for updating the community—these positive check-ins are encouraging for everyone here. Wishing you continued clear results on your Signatera test later this month!
